enable you to put on the corset but it does not enable you to

I have to disagree. I am able to put on my corset and tighten it
myself with the 2 part corset.
Loosen the laces.
Wrap the corset around you.
Hook up the front.
Keep adjusting your anatomy as you slowly pull the corset to its
correct tightness.
I suspect if you are a size 22 like I am, and are trying for an 18
inch waist, no amount of help will make the corset that tight! The
corset will shape you for the Period, which is why I was told you
needed to wear one in Period Attire.
Well, I can't do it, but then I have short arms, and cannot reach up
my back to tighten the top laces, nor over my shoulders to do it that
way. And I am a 22 too, but with help, can wear my corset comfortably tight.
